Man, I wish my car was up to par to get in on this. I am trailering my car right past Northern Virginia on saturday to go to PFSupercars in Maryland. Unfortunately, I have an issue with my car that I know Steve doesn't have the time to sort out and dyno. Good luck to all especially Austin. What can I say, I'm biased. Go GT40R.

YES!!! CHANGE THE FUEL FILTER! If you haven't changed it in a long time then that should be taken care of prior to tuning as well.

Max, as long as your car isn't running really rich then they should be fine. I've seen cars make as much as 30 + extra HP from changing the spark plugs alone!

Ok guys...here's the FINAL 411:

FEES:

SATURDAY
1) George "Kenny" Rogers (VaGambler): 90 GTU with S5TII with a mild port with 3 mm seals, stock setup.
$350 tune, $175 dyno = $525 Total = $200 Deposit = $325 Due Upon Arrival

2) Mahlon Atwood (2gslse): Streetported FD, RX6A single turbo, FMIC, 550primary/1600 secondary, PFC w/ 3 bar map sensor. Tune to 15-16 psi.
$400 tune, $175 dyno = $575 Total = $200 Deposit = $375 Due Upon Arrival

3) Brian Walter (turbodrx7): FC w/ T-66, stock ports, Microtech LT8S, 15psi
$400 tune, $175 dyno = $575 Total = $200 Deposit = $375 Due Upon Arrival

4) Vladimir Barr (Max_Spd): FD, HKS T04R, 10-16psi
$400 tune, $175 dyno = $575 Total = $200 Deposit = $375 Due Upon Arrival

5) George "Kenny" Rogers (VaGambler) again: 90 GTU with S5TII with a mild port with 3 mm seals. Turbo size? Injectors? How many maps?
$400 tune, $175 dyno = $575 Total = $200 Deposit = $375 Due Upon Arrival

6) Greg May (gmizzle): S4 TII with 850 injectors, ported intake, stock turbo, FMIC, running a Microtech LT 10. Greg, plz note that the additional late deposit surcharge will still apply, even though you're going on Saturday.
$350 tune, $260 dyno = $610 Total = $200 Deposit = $410 Due Upon Arrival

SUNDAY
7) Nam Hoang (namasan): FD, Vmount, stock twins, PowerFC, datalogit, PLX Wideband-SM-AFR + DM-5 AFR, 12psi
$350 tune, $260 dyno = $610 Total = $200 Deposit = $410 Due Upon Arrival

8) David Bern (phinsn98): FD M2 SMIC, M2 Intake, stock twins, PowerFC, downpipe, HFC, RB Dual tip, HKS twin power, 550 primaries, 1300cc secondaries, Blitz I-Color with wide band module tuned to 14psi.
$350 tune, $260 dyno = $610 Total = $200 Deposit = $410 Due Upon Arrival

Surcharges based on late registration are NON-NEGOTIABLE. They were mentioned *clearly* in the first post, and the schedule along w/ fee breakdown was consequently based on this pricing structure.

phinsn98, we were able to manipulate the schedule in such a way that you WILL be dyno tuned as originally promised. So now that your concerns have been alleviated, we're going to require you to come through for the tuning session as planned.

I'll also extend a reminder to all that b/c of the irreversible plans involved in tuning sessions (booking dynos, flight tickets, etc), all deposits have been, are, and always will be NON-REFUNDABLE. Hence why we don't proceed w/ reserving a date w/ Steve until we have enough deposits (b/c those deposits are guaranteed). No one has ANY plans of going out of pocket on these types of events, so your understanding and cooperation in this matter is most appreciated

Thanks!

Kenny, as I clearly stated, the surcharge was applicable to ALL who registered after the first 5 cars, regardless. These events are expensive, and many things had to be paid for in advance. As such, we all have expenses to cover. So sorry, but rules are rules. The info is correct and won't be changing. Please make the necessary arrangements, b/c we will NOT be negotiating or making adjustments tomorrow or Sunday, and payment in FULL *will* be required prior to getting tuned.

Thanks for your cooperation,
~Ramy

So, how did everyone do? I rode past northern VA today twice on the way to and from PFSupercars to drop my car off. I was hoping to see some 7s and stopping by to see what was going on with you guys, but I didn't.

Yup, we lost the motor. It wasnt steves fault, we have no idea why it went. Front rotor has no compression on any faces. It was a dead 11.5afr, with the boost at 8psi when it blew. The car made 307whp at 8psi, so would have been around 400whp on 15psi.
